WorkSafeBC Agricultural Initiative

Reg Steward, Beef in BC, 23 May 2018

It is always important to ensure that your workplace is striving to meet the levels of compliance required by applicable acts and regulations. WorkSafeBC plays an increasingly active role in agriculture. They have a mandate and clearly identified initiatives in the agricultural sector. I thought you might like to know the areas of focus.

The publicly available document which provides details of this focus and the agricultural initiatives undertaken by WorkSafeBC for 2018 in agriculture includes their goals and approaches.

The Agriculture Initiative was developed through examination of claims data and identification of work activities with the highest potential for causing serious injury. The initiative focuses prevention activities on identified areas of high risk in order to apply resource and effort where they will be most effective.
